HIOK03588U Cognitive Science 2

The course will focus on cognitive aspects of multimodality,
emotions and personality in face-to-face communication and in
human-machine interaction. In particular, we will address the
cognitive relation between auditory (speech) and visual (body
behavior) modalities in face-to-face communication and introduce
theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of studying
multimodal communication and its application to intelligent
human-machine interfaces such as communicative virtual agents.
During the course, the students choose a phenomenon to investigate
in depth and they will document their work in the exam (written
homework). The format of the class consists of lectures
(including guest lectures), hands on and student presentations.
